Langkawi Island Day 2 - Galeri Perdana

Galeri Perdana situated just next to Kilim Geoforest Park entrance. To go in there's an entrance fee and if you would like to take picture purchase a ticket for your camera too. 

Basically this gallery is like a museum for our late Prime Minister Dato' Sri Dr Mahathir Muhamad. All tokens of appreciations from world leaders or nations can be seen here. It's like a history on Malaysia Social standing when the late prime minister hold this country.

It's a very big 2 building gallery and it was pretty educational. One of many places to visit if you like to learn about Malaysians..

Hokkien New Year

Chinese New Year is a fifteen day celebration. Hokkien New Year is celebrated on the 9th day of Chinese New Year. For Hokkiens, it is celebrated with more grandeur compared to the 1st day. This is because the Hokkiens were in hiding for the first eight days of Chinese New Year, and only had the chance to celebrate the New Year on the 9th day. The belief is that the Jade Emperor (Thee kong – translated as “king of the heavens”) protected our Hokkien ancestors from being caught, which is why we offer thanksgiving prayers to him.

Although these prayers are traditionally only performed by Hokkiens, more and more non-Hokkien people have started to join in to pray for a good year ahead.

And that's why we heard a lot of fire crackers at night in the middle of Chinese New Year. I often wonder and my dear had lighten me up on this. A lot of Malays or other races doesn't realize about this also. So, this is me sharing what i knew about Chinese Customs.

Journey 2 - The Mysterious Island

Last Nite i was so stressed out that i asked my dear to belanja me see any movie..and we end up seeing this one. I was glad and it was entertaining. In a movie like this nobody dies and spoil your mood ;)

It was not as intense and Journey To The Center Of The Earth with Brendan Fraser but ok la..there's the adventure..pretty scenery and jokes..ha ha..

It's a Vernian Theory ( Jules Vern) that all the books he wrote actually existed. This time The Mysterious Island. Where small become big and big become small. The elephants were cuddly and the sharks were tiny fishes..

It was nice as entertainment but don't expect more out of it..

My Friend Gone to Bandung and all he got me was..

Ha ha ha.. apa la..luckily you're not my Bff's.. if not sure i LOL..anyway thanks for this..next time i go to Bandung i'll give you a Key Chain k..

 Journey Began

  

Fish Farm Visitation

 Gua Kelawar or Bat Cave

It was exhilarating. The best moment of being in Langkawi except for my room and chocolates..ha ha

I like how the wind on my face, the sound of water and the beautiful scenery..

But we're just here for a short ride around 1 1/2 hour only. Anyway we manage to enjoy ourself and the bro who drove us was awesome. He gave us more and show us more as well..

We went for Eagle Feeding, Fish Farm and Bat cave..other than that just drove us to the point between Sea and River met and seeing look alike stones..they are turtles look a likes and ect ect..

Really fun ;)

Aww...Shucks

I was so busy readying everything for tomorrow..i would talk on Internet Marketing in front of clueless audiences. I'm wondering how to cope up with them..

Anyway wish me luck ;) 

I haven't had a time to post on My Langkawi Trip but will do next week since i'm going to be a bit free that time..

Sighhhh

Langkawi Chocolates

My Chocolates..yummy..the famous DAIM from Sweeden..i bought Hershey Kisses and Assorted Hershey bars, Toblerone, Ritters Sports (famous also) and Kit Kat. Cadbury is not worth it to buy since the prices more or less than here.. I ate Kit Kat a lot and felt sorry didn't buy a lot of it..hu hu..i don't really like Hershey since it was so sweet..even their dark choco was sweet..WTF..

 Daim = Rm14.50 only at The Zon beside Underwater World
          = Rm14.80 at Haji Ismail Group
          = Rm19.90 Airport /Jetty

Toblerone = big Rm 8.90
                = medium Rm11 for 3
                = small Rm10.90 for 6 Free Trade Centre in front Hj Ismail Group

Kit Kat = 1 pack got 3 bar inside Rm 5.90
           

Hershey = Rm8.90 Kisses
             = Assorted Rm 12 / 3packs Rm 35

Ok , i take back my words on Cadbury's being expensive in Langkawi. I mean the International one. Yup, i saw it's packaging in boxes and price of one around Rm 9 something. That day i went to Masjid India Haniffa, to buy office stuff and seen the exact same chocolates.. guess what? The price was doubled..around Rm 19 something..ha ha..so ignore me on expensive Cadburys..

Lion Dance

 So lucky to catch the lion dance yesterday at Tesco with my dear ;) last year i saw it at The Curve..

A little bit info :- The lion dance is often mistakenly referred to as dragon dance. An easy way to tell the difference is that a lion is operated by two people, while a dragon needs many people. Also, in a lion dance, the performers' faces are covered, since they are inside the lion. In a dragon dance, the performers can be seen since the dragon is held upon poles.

He he actually my dear told me this since i refer it as Dragon Dance..since it's Dragon Year..ha ha.my bad..

Langkawi Island - Day 1

We flew to Langkawi on Friday around 3.30 p.m ( 10.30a.m i chow already from work) and reach there 1 hour later..yeah, really fast huh..Lcct to Langkawi Airport just 1 hour..

First place we went after landing was Under Water World Langkawi..situated at near Cenang Beach.. it was not really happening for me as the Aquaria KLCC and it's cheaper also to enter..around Rm25 i think.. you can see the smallest monkey Mimosa , Penguins, Sharks and fishes..

                                            Seal                                                   Penguins

After that we went for shopping at The Zon just next door..chocolates here were the cheapest amongst all shops that we went for 3 days there..cheaper than Haji Ismail Group..

 Lastly before heading to our hotel we dine at Siam Village Restaurant just next to The Zon.. The food here was the best..freshly cook and hot.. big prawns, seafood Tomyam , Crabs and another 2 plates already finished..steam fish and i forgot the other dish..it was authentic Thailand and even the workers speak Thailand..

First day trip finished..we went to our hotel in Pekan Kuah,City Bayview Hotel..we can't get other hotels since holiday kicking in..but it's really a good hotel..spacious room with flat screen tv, bath tub and shower, view of the beach and they provided the ironing tools.. so far the best hotel i've ever been staying..

relaxing at the swimming pool before went out for shopping

End of Day 1..
